The visual appeal of
the area when hiring a professional tree service company to assess stump
situation which can be unsightly and detract from the overall appearance as
grinding the stump down can improve the yard or landscape. They can evaluate
the stump's proximity to structures, utilities and other sensitive areas to
ensure the stump is ground down thoroughly as professionals typically grind
stumps to a depth below ground level. The deeper the grinding, the less likely
it is for the tree to regenerate as tree stumps can provide a perfect home for
pests such as termites, ants, beetles and other wood-boring insects. By
grinding the stump, it removes their potential habitat making the area less
attractive to these pests and before starting the grinding process, assess the
location and root systems of nearby trees. Understanding the root structure
helps in planning the grinding to avoid damaging the roots of other trees as
stumps are potential tripping hazardous. Especially in areas where children
play or people frequently walk as the tree stump grinding Brisbane
flush with or below ground level removes this danger.
Before any tree stump grinding begins, the risk of
accidents can reduce as the stumps can be tripping hazards, removing the stump where
people frequently walk and children play in particular area. It must ensure
that there are no underground utilities such as gas lines, water pipes or
electrical cables near the stump which can typically be done by contacting
local utility companies for a site check. Although less common, some trees may
attempt to regrow from the remaining roots and consider installing a root
barrier to prevent any remaining roots from sprouting new growth. If feasible,
grind any large, visible roots that are close to the surface as many pests feed
on decaying wood and grinding the stump and removing the resulting wood chips
diminishes the food supply for these pests. Discouraging them from staying in
the area while tree stump
grinding removes
the visible part of the stump does not remove the tree’s root system, if
possible, map out the root systems of nearby trees. This can help in identifying
which roots belong to the stump being removed and which belong to other trees,
minimising the risk of accidental damage.
Stumps can cause
accidents with lawnmowers, bicycles and other equipment and removing the stump
reduces the risk of damaging equipment or causing injury as stumps take up
valuable space that can be used for planting, landscaping or other activities.
Grinding the stump frees up this area for more productive use as tree stumps
can attract pests such as termites, ants and other insects that can then spread
to other parts of the yard. Even into home, grinding the stump removes this
potential breeding ground ensuring the use of appropriate and well-maintained tree stump grinding equipment.
Professionals will have the right tools and machinery to handle the job safely
and efficiently and the chemicals penetrate the root system and inhibit any
potential regrowth. It is crucial to follow the instructions and local
regulations when using chemical treatments as pests living in tree stumps can
spread to healthy trees, plants, or even structures. After tree stump grinding, apply a stump killer or herbicide to
the remaining stump and roots in removing the stump can reduce the risk of pest
migration and infestation.
